Message from Director of Tokyo Gap Financing Market

Dear Producers and Directors,

We would like to remind you that the call for projects of the second edition of the TOKYO GAP FINANCING MARKET (TGFM) (Nov 1-3, 2021) has been launched more than a month ago. The deadline to submit your project is July 20th, 2021.

The Tokyo Gap-Financing Market is a platform for selected projects that aims to support Japanese, Asian and International producers to secure financing for their projects (Fiction Films, Fiction TV series and Animation feature films or TV series) through one-to-one meetings with potential and pertinent international decision-makers (producers, sales agents, distributors, financiers, broadcasters, funds, etc.).

Considering the success of our first online edition with 20 projects coming from Singapore, Nepal, Mexico, Indonesia, Argentina, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, UK, USA, France, India, Malaysia and of course Japan and reaching more than 185 decisive meetings, we have received numerous requests from financiers to attend our forthcoming edition.

Even if it’s too early to precise now the final format of the TGFM for this year, we know that we are offering you an unavoidable opportunity to complete your financing and to bring your project to light.

All the TGFM team is at your disposal for any further information at tgfm@unijapan.org

Pascal Diot

Head of the Tokyo Gap Financing Market
